Good book! This book had suspense, intrigue, action and great police work! The storyline was very interesting and kept me glued to my kindle! I definitely enjoyed reading this one! It was well worth reading! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

This is a solid procedural series and its latest entry does not disappoint. Louise Blackwell and her team are in the middle of terrible, horrible, no good Tim Finch’s trial when a series of bomb threats and arson attacks light up the city. There is a note addressed to Louise, making it personal. Tom, her boyfriend, has left the police and is in private security, so they see less of each other. As always, I love the interaction within the members of Louise’s squad, as well as her relationship with her boss. Some ghosts of her past also resurface, and we see some old faces again. I hope this marks the end of a recurring plot that I was never a fan of, and the developments here mark the direction of future volumes.
I chose to read this book and all opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased. Thank you, #NetGalley/#Amazon Publishing UK!

Wow, wow, wow - this book is a great addition to the DI Blackwell series and a cracker of a read. I think it’s the best one in the series so far and I absolutely loved this one. Someone is targeting Louise personally - but who and why? I was drawn into the story right from the start - talk about an opening, heart in mouth prologue that definitely grabbed my attention. Louise’s past actions return to haunt her here and at the same time the trial of ex DCI Finch is about to start and he is bent on revenge against Louise and won’t stop until he gets it. This is such a well written and engaging book which flowed really well. It has a great plot line and I loved all the separate threads that included police corruption, blackmail, revenge, terrorism and drugs. I enjoyed the glimpses into Louises personal life and seeing her fears, doubts and vulnerable side. I also liked reading of the rapport and friendships she has with her work colleagues which I feel gives her character more depth. I was rooting for her throughout the story. The book has characters that are mostly likeable, believable and portrayed realistically and there were a couple I just loathed and hated. The story is set over 2 weeks and is a fast paced and very thrilling read, and one which I got through in just over a day, it was that good. I loved everything about this book and genuinely can’t fault it. I’d recommend this if you like police procedurals and if you’re new to this author then you need to read the series in order. Really looking forward to the next one.

Thank you NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for the eARC.
DI Louise Blackwell is having a tough time: not only is ex-DCI Finch's trial coming up, but her little niece's school has had a bomb threat and a note is found addressed to Louise. She's desperately hoping Finch will be put away for life... the only good spot for this sociopath is behind bars. But meanwhile she's terrified about her niece's safety, especially when things escalate and more threats and letters to her occur, until someone is killed in a bomb blast, so now it's a case of murder. Is this a personal or terror threat?
With lots of action, a few romantic blips and Louise's equilibrium disturbed but not broken, this fast-paced book is definitely recommended!

DI Louise Blackwell is involved in the most personal case she has experienced in an thrilling novel that starts with action straight away, and I loved it for that reason, and for the characters, and the plot. I read it straight away, and I was not disappointed. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for giving me a copy of the book.

Hi the title of the book is great pier it is upsetting about a bomb in a school I always enjoy a mystery no matter what it is.
